Why DIY a Wine Gift Bag?

Beyond the fact that it’s fun to make, here are a few reasons to justify making your own drop cloth wine gift bag.

  • Bringing wine in a fancy bag shows you went the extra mile.
  • Cloth wine bags last longer than paper. (Reusable, baby!)
  • Even if you or the hostess don’t drink wine, you can use your fancy bag for a variety of other drinks/liquids. Think olive oil, sparkling cider, balsamic vinegar, bubble bath, etc.
  • The opportunities to personalize and customize are endless.

Wine Bag Sewing Supplies

Supplies to sew a DIY wine gift bag using a drop cloth, fabric stamps and ink, and dollar spot ribbon.

To get started, buy some wine (obviously)! 😉 Then, gather the following supplies:

  • Simple wine bag sewing pattern (download PDF file here)
  • Drop cloth
  • Festive stamps
  • Ink pad for fabric
  • Ribbon
  • Sewing materials: thread, scissors, pins, etc.

Luckily, drop cloth comes in large quantities, so you’ll have plenty of fabric left over to make more adorable projects. (Valentine’s gift bags, anyone?) For these wine bags, I used leftover fabric from my stenciled table runner and DIY tote bag projects.

Wine Bottle Bag – Sewing Instructions

Three DIY wine bottle gift bags made from an easy to sew pattern using drop cloth, stamps and ribbon.

Step 1: Prepare drop cloth fabric

Before working with drop cloth, wash the fabric according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most drop cloths are machine washable.

Cutting circular pattern for DIY easy wine gift bag sewing project

Next, cut your fabric pieces according to the pattern dimensions. You’ll need one rectangular piece and one circular piece for each wine bottle gift bag.

Step 2: Stamp the drop cloth

Stamping drop cloth fabric with red holiday stamp saying "eat drink and be merry"

You have the option of stamping your fabric before cutting, but I like to know what my pieces look like first. Test your stamp on a scrap piece of fabric before you begin the real deal.

Memento ink pad for fabric in red color

With ink pads made for fabric, you can also use a hot iron to “set” the stamp for a more permanent application.

Another option is to use fabric paint and stencils to create your design. I have a full tutorial for painting on canvas fabric.

Step 3: Hem the long top edge of the rectangle and attach ribbon

Double-fold the top edge toward the inside of the fabric to create a hem. My hem (from the top to the stitching) measured about 1/4 inch when finished.

Next, sew the ribbon in place at the front mid-point (opposite the raw edges), 3 1/2 inches below the top hem. My ribbon measured 26 inches, which allowed me to double-wrap it around the bottle neck and create a bow.

This is my favorite sewing machine, by the way.

Step 4: Sew the side edge of the bag

DIY wine bottle gift bag turned inside out to sew the side hem

Turn the rectangle piece inside-out, and sew the side seam to create a cylinder shape. I like to reinforce the edge with a simple zigzag stitch after using a straight stitch to prevent the edges from fraying too much.

Tip: Always pin your fabric in place to prevent shifting as you sew.

Step 5: Sew the bottom seam

Attaching bottom of DIY wine gift bag

With the bag still turned inside-out, pin the circular bottom of the bag to the cylinder, and sew around the circle. Again, you can use a zigzag stitch to reinforce raw edges after straight stitching.

After finishing the bottom seam, turn the bag right-side-out, and you are ready to party!
